Camping Flashback

I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. And I really want to do something fun with the kids and just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So I think a mini-getaway is in order. I immediately thought - CAMPING!!!!!!! Surprised? Yeah, me too. I'm typically a delicate creature but I really loved our camping trip we took last year and it's something I want to do once a year. I weighed the pros and cons and decided against camping. We'll give it a whirl when Daddy is back. But I do have something in store and hopefully it'll give us a breather from the real world but it's a secret - I'll fill you in once it all goes down. In the meantime let's reminisce on our last camping trip with a slew of photos. To give you a few basics the five of us went, as well as Seth's little brother Drake and his little little sister Krissy. Oh, and we can't forget about Bear Cub as well.

We started by exploring the woods a bit. Bear loved it, he could've stayed out there and sniffed for hours. He's a stinker but I'll tell you what, he did really good throughout our whole trip, even if he did get himself tangled up 43 times a day.

We spent the majority of our time in the water and on the beach. The kids would play in the sand while we talked or sunbathed, then we'd get in the water to cool off or splash around or rub mud all over ourselves, you know, the usual.

Of course there was fishing.

And shell and rock collecting. And swimming. And singing. And dancing. And jokes. And lost flip-flops. And bugs, especially in the morning. And Daddy cooking our dinner and Drake and Owen burning their smores. It was so much fun. Here's hoping our upcoming mini-getaway generates as much fun and as many great memories as our first camping trip did.

Happy Humpday!
